PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PRIZE MONEY FOR WOMEN AT WIMBLEDON TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS (25 June 2006)
Motion Details
That this House deplores the failure of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to award women players at Wimbledon the same prize money as men; finds this inequality deplorable at a time when equal pay is an accepted principle in all other areas; expects the LTA to bring forward proposals for equal pay in time for the championships in 2007; and believes that any failure to do this should result in referral of the matter to the Commission for Equality and Human Rights.
